Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 ounces) corn, drained
- 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 3 cups tortilla chips, slightly crushed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- N/A optional toppings (sliced jalapeños, diced avocado, fresh cilantro)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the ground beef or turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the seasoning is evenly distributed and slightly thickened.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked meat, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and sour cream. Mix until well incorporated.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Spread half of the crushed tortilla chips evenly across the bottom of the dish.
Pour the meat and bean mixture over the chips, spreading it out evenly.
Top with the remaining crushed tortilla chips, then sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese blend over the top.
Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped green onions and any optional toppings such as sliced jalapeños, diced avocado, or fresh cilantro.
Serve warm and enjoy!
